It's been mentioned but only in replies that if you are on a Windows machine you will need to modify your etc/hosts file to have both the domains accessible

Calling env() in your code is a bad practice since env() function is slow. Consider api domain to your config file and call env() there since config gets cached and then use that config variable in your code.

Also, thank you for awesome series, love watching them!

Thanks a lot Quentin. A very nice tutorial. Please include my request as well along with Leon's request. Vue SPA (with vuetify or Quasar) and Laravlel Passport. Kind regards.

[MarkSnape]

Nice clear explanation. I think it would be better to use a config file for the API domain that can be cached rather than access the env function directly? It could also concat API prefix and APP_URL ?

hey i am doing html5 and you are helping me

[leonvanrijswijk]

It would be great if you will make a video adding Laravel Passport to this project, including password reset. And a Vue SPA as a front end.

[adante]

Are you planning on doing any more Laravel? Would be great! 👍 Like a full Laravel beginners course?

Do you have a tutorial for auth API with token?

[christostsangaris]

Hi there Quentin! Great videos!! Just a question: Is there a benefit of using subdomain for api instead of /api/? From an SSL perspective, it is more expensive to protect a wildcard instead of a single URL. Thanks in advance.

[faisalkhan]

Do you have any tutorial on Laravel subdomain application.

[Kuldeep]

Domain issue: I had an error by entering Then I removed value and tried with No errors.

Hi. Thanks for the work. This is a very useful tutorial. I am practicing this tutorial on my local ubuntu server. I was trying to fetch to API using the subdomain version you taught in the tutorial but its showing "this site can't be reached" issue whenever I try to get method. I think it has to something with creating a subdomain in my virtual server or maybe something else. Can you help me resolve the issues?

[jeffcorpuz]

when i try to make the on windows ( timestamp 7:07 ), my browser and postman cant reach this site. Is there a different way from windows os?
